Initial analysis

The 24-unit, 3-story apartment building at 2060 Pacific Avenue in Pacific Heights, built in 1950 and currently owned by Pacific Partners, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable challenges over its history. Most recently, the building completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit program in 2017, following a violation notice in 2016 regarding earthquake safety compliance. The property has seen substantial renovation work in recent years, including apartment 301's kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 2022 ($18,000), and apartment 202's bathroom and kitchen improvements in 2021 ($26,350). Major infrastructure maintenance includes a steam boiler replacement in 2010 and foundation work completed in 1987.

The building has experienced several fire safety and maintenance issues over the years, with the most recent fire violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements still showing as open. There have been multiple instances of fire system-related complaints between 2018-2024, including issues with sprinklers, alarm systems, and extinguishers, most of which were promptly corrected. Historical complaints from 2002 included concerns about heating systems and fire escape maintenance, though these issues were later addressed. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, as evidenced by the completion of various permits and prompt responses to violations, though it did face significant scrutiny during the 2016-2017 period regarding its Soft Story retrofit status.

Risk rating

How 2060 Pacific Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
